as a fertile field for prehistoric research. Mr, Wlssler Is on the staff of the American Museum of Natural History, of New Yorfc, and this year, besides his work at Chllllcothe, Is engaged in ethonological researches In Hawaii and Mexico. "Mound City," which is located on ther-bar.k of the Scioto River, contains about IS acres, laid out in the form of a square, with rounded angles. Originally It was surrounded by a low earth wall from three to four feet high. Within the inelosure are 24 mounds. As the result of Incomplete explorations made In these mounds by ptoneer archaeologists 84 years ago It is believed "Mound City" was a place of worship and that the mounds were utilized In the observance of religious rites and possibly as places of burial. Archaeologists regard ths site as a fertile Held for prehistoric research. Near "Mound City" Is another and larger Inelosure, surrounded by an embankment almost circular In form and containing 25 aores. At Its center Is a large mound, which probably was used as a place of sacrifice. Bury Utenalla With Dead. It always has been the universal practice of primitive people to bury with their dead a portion of th personal belonging the deceased prized most highly while living. Their temples or places of worship were usually the depositories of tribal or national records and archives. With the fact of racial psychology In mind, the scientists began excavations at "Mound City" June 21. At the end of the second week of their work they had recovered two fairly well Jrcerved skeletons, bone Implements, a finely carved pipe and fragments of lend ore from the first of ten mounds they expect to open. Th first mound to be excavated was one, tho crown of which had been plowed down even with the surroundsurface and a Camp Sherman army barrack built on the site. Three days nfter the work had started the first And wns made, a well preserved skeleton of a man. 5 feet 9 Inches In height. Bore Implements were found near the skeleton. Burled 'Em Anyway. The find Is regarded as a case of "intrusive burial." The Indians were ignorant of the origin of the mounds, but regarded thpm with awe and veneration and frequently used them as places of burial for their own dead. On Juno 25 a second skelton was dug up. Then came the carved pipe traced with Arabesque llns and the fr?fments of lead ore, which some nuthorltles believe was the currency of this early people. The second f 'tploton also Is regarded ns a case of "irtrustve burlnl." Th exploration of "Mound City" will h thorough and systematic. Trenches l.g surface and a Camp Sherman army 10 foet deep and GO feet long are being dvg un and down the sites of the mounds. Every clod of any size is to be carefully examined. Pigging Is slow and careful, so that no specimens may be Injured.

v , . t ADplications for the Victory Medal, which the army commenced distributing June 21, have been arriving so slowly that to date only 50,936 have been Issued, which is the total number of applications received. The war department prepared to issue approximately 35,000 of these medals per day, and it would have taken four months under these conditions to complete the distribution. Only 50,000 applications, however, have been received In a month and at that rate it would take almost six years before each man who was entitled to a medal had received it. The method of making application for the victory medal In brief Is as follows: All officers and men should apply to the nearest post, camp, station or recrultln? office for the prescribed formB on which applications for victory medals should be submitted. This may be done either in person or by mail, and the forms together with full instructions will be furnished him. If the man lives In a city where there is any army post, or a recruiting office, he should take his application, together with his original discharge papers to the post or recruiting office, where will be decided the class of medal and the number of battle clasps to which he Is entitled, or if there is any question as to what the applicant is entitled to, the military authorities will forward the application for further consideration. The original discharge papers will then be handed back to the man and the depot officer of the quartermaster corps, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ordered to ship the medal direct to the applicant. Should the man not live in a town where there is a post, camp or recruiting station, he should submit his application with the necessary supporting papers by mall to the army post or recruiting office nearest his home. The American legion has kindly offered to assist In preparing applications. Kach Legion post has been or will be, upon request, furnished the necessary forms and written instructions.

CAUTIONS MOTHERS Physicians are cautioning mothers that special care must be given to infants and young children during the cool spell that has followed the extreme hot weather of last week. There is danger that infants will take colds unless they are kept warm enough during the nights. Mothers are cautioned not to let babies sleep In places where they will be subjected to a draft. Nine-tenths of infant mortality at this season of the year is due to improper feeding and care. Mothers not nursing their babies have a heavy responsibility In extreme hot weather, one physician said, and they cannot be too cautious in seeing that nothing but pure and sweet milk is used. Care also should be exercised to have the bottle properly sterilized and rubber attachments boiled before using.
